Decided to have a go at using inchies as per the challenge at CAS Mix up. In the end I made two cards and had fun creating them.
For the frames I used a small die from a Concord & 9th kit purchased this year. I really like the turquoise blue on the bright Jelly Bean green card stock so I laid them out and glued them. I stamped the greeting in black beside the frames and when dry added a bit of sakura glitter from a pen to the word Merry. using up a scrap piece of white sparkly cardstock I die cut the poinsettia flowers from a Creative Expressions set. I added the centers and then a small piece of gold star/flower left over from the bits that came out of a previous die cut. To make the leaves I added a strip of sparkly washi tape to scrap cs and die cut them. Sparkle doesn’t really show here unfortunately.

Nice! I can tell there is a lot of sparkle there, even though it doesn’t all show well. Maybe I recognize the kind of paper used and know it is sparkly.

Glad you can see the sparkle. I like sparkle if it doesn’t rub off.

Very pretty. The turquoise really pops against the Jelly Bean.

Yes I like the two colours together too. I didn’t actually plan the colours – it happened by accident because I had both card stocks on my desk pushed together and my brain went wow.

In general don’t use much washi tape but I got these rolls in a sale and they work well for certain things. They actually stick well which some rolls don’t.

Thanks so much. These days I am into things that are less traditional as I am trying to change my brain into thinking outside the box.
